A 32-year-old man with diabetes presents to his physician with orthostatic hypotension. This suggests a deficiency in the normal physiologic response carried out by arterial baroreceptors located in the aortic arch and the carotid sinus. What is the normal physiologic response to hypotension?
(A) Decreased baroreceptor afferent firing in the aortic arch leads to increased sympathetic efferent firing
(B) Decreased baroreceptor afferent firing in the carotid sinus leads to increased parasympathetic efferent firing
